Maan Jungle

The forests around Ma'an spread inland from the Gulf of Guinea toward the Ntem River. Dense evergreen and semi-evergreen trees cover much of this wet equatorial country, while swamp forests and stands of raffia palms follow the river valleys. The Ntem winds westward through the forest toward the Atlantic. Moabi, iroko and other large trees rise above a rich undergrowth, and streams cross the lowlands between the river and the coast.
